1. Appearance: White powder
2. Properties: Non-toxic, odorless, insoluble in water, non-hygroscopic, and possesses excellent thermal stability.
- Dehydration Temperature: 280°C–400°C
- Melting Point: 1200°C
3. Applications: It features a high dehydration temperature in polymer materials, providing effective smoke suppression, flame retardancy, and anti-dripping properties without compromising the material’s mechanical processing strength, elongation, or thermal aging resistance. It also requires a low addition level.
It can completely replace zinc borate and substitute 60% of antimony trioxide and other inorganic flame retardants. It is the ideal smoke-suppressant flame retardant for rubber and plastic products, and is also suitable for use as a smoke-suppressant flame retardant in inorganic fire-resistant coatings.
4. Usage Examples in Flame-Retardant Products:
- Plastics: 10–15%
- Fibers: 8–12%
- Wires and Cables: 10–17% (can replace 33% of antimony trioxide with excellent results, without affecting mechanical processing strength or flame retardant efficacy)
